Publisher's summary
Whack!
The plates go flying at your head. He kicked you in the shin again, or punched you in the face, or choked you, or slammed your head against the wall, or tried to drive you off the road again.
How much more can you take?
Are you going to stand there and let him hit you again?
Sometimes a narcissist hits you hard enough to kill you....
You might not care enough about yourself to stop yourself from being killed....
But what about maimed?
What about psychotic and locked in a mental ward?
What about schizophrenic till you don’t know which voices are yours?
What about neurotic while you pick at your skin or cut yourself till you bleed?
What then?
Crash!
He broke your favorite laptop...or tablet...or phone...or he smashed your car into a guard rail.
Look how he supposedly "lost control", but funny how all his own belongings are still intact.
Funny how he stands up in court with his grin on his face, completely calm, cool, and collected.
Where was that monster he pretended to be just yesterday?
Funny how he behaves at his friend’s house and at work when his boss gets on his case.
Imagine that; he does have some control after all.
He can help what he does; he simply chooses to terrorize you (and your children if you fell into the trap of doing that for him along with 2/3 of the household chores).
Get real. You ain’t laughing; but he is.
Let’s talk about monsters, shall we?
Which monster is hiding in your bed?
Which monster is hiding in your head?
Curious about which mental disorder the monster in your life has? Maybe he is on our list. And did you know his condition is genetic? We’ll cover that, too.
We’ll take you for a spin on the power and control wheel and the healthy relationship wheel to see how you fare and compare.
We’ll tell you the constellation of the six dimensions of wellness, and how you can get to wellness one baby step at a time.
You’ll have some more help by the time we are done.
Then I will let you off to your newfound freedom.

Gaslighting has been a frequent subject of pop culture references. But sadly, gaslighting isn't limited to the big screen—it is the harsh reality of millions of men across the globe. Gaslighters hijack your life by rejecting your feelings, questioning your version of events, and altering your beliefs. Thus, making you question your sanity and changing your outlook on life. Replacing who you were with the version of you they want so they can gain power over you through manipulation and keep control.

Energy vampires exist all around us, and some of them might be less apparent than others. Taking the form of family members, close friends, and trusted coworkers, these people can effectively hide their true form and fool you into maintaining them in your life. However, just like those ever-popular Hollywood vampires, real-life energy vampires can only enter if you invite them in. If you can figure out how to spot them in your life, you can cut them out, shut the door, and limit your interactions with them so that you won’t have to suffer their toxicity.
